i really dont know, but i am at 3600 or so at 75mph i love it, it has a way stronger feel at this speed, its not annoying to cruise on the highway and is fine on streets to drive i am not shifting like crazy, if you do 3.73 i think ud regret it, i cant wait to spray with these gears, i know i cant spray in 1 or 2nd because with these gears i am spinning my 275 tires in back with out juice.....time to turn the traction control back on i wish the sct tune would allow you to hit the button and make it on.....its just permantly off... that bites

You should be proud. Good work man. I've never worked up the courage to crack into the rear end on my own, mostly cause I know there's a good chance I'll end up spending wayyyy more than if I just got them installed at a shop.

well i have the 3650 which has a taller 5th than that the older transmissions, i would imagine if i had a S/C you would not be able to get much traction in 1 or 2nd you get a huge amount of pull i cannot floor the car like b4 it will spin at any rpm in 1st or 2nd so i imagine with a supercharger it would be worse, and it makes 5th gear a blast on the freeway, I guess it depends on what your doing with the car, if you where going to see what the best track times you are trying to get i would get 373 so your not all over the place, if you just drive alot i would do 4.10, and if you want to have some serious fun at high speeds 40-70 i would get the 4.30. just my .02 but 4.10s made the car soooooo bad *** to drive.. play with the numbers on this site... http://www.tchracing.com/tech/gearcalc.php

It's three years old. Link is probably moved, or no longer in existance.

Wonder how many pages we had to go back for this one!

I was 6-7 posts in before I saw ceekay's post, and he's been gone for awhile.....

:-(
